Well, I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in a small town
Oh, and that’s probably where they’ll bury me, yeah
I was born in a bass drum
Brought up by a guitar
My mama kept a house of hags
And my daddy dressed in drag
A hot nite in Dallas
Feel the southern wind
A hot nite in Dallas
And the sheets stickin’ to my skin
Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good 'ne, but the jealous kind
Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men
Mama’s in the graveyard, Papa’s in the pen
And it’s all because
Your mama don’t dance
And your daddy don’t rock and roll
Your mama don’t dance
And your daddy don’t rock and roll
When evening rolls around
And it’s time to go to town
Where do you go
To rock and roll?
Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away
Hey, hey
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
'Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know
Your mother should know
Hey, what am I doing standing here
On the corner of West 8th Street and 6th Avenue and
Ah, skip it
Nothing, Keith, watcha, watcha doing?
Oh, I think the time has come to get out, get out
Get up, get out, get into something new
Get up, get out into something new
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, “You and me, babe, how about it?”
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
But I’m the only one
Who’ll walk across a fire for you
And I’m the only one
Who’ll drown in my desire for you
It’s only fear that makes you run
The demons that you’re hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I’m the only one
I’m the one, natural one, make it easy
We can take it inside
Where I can love how I like, if I want it
Whatever keeps me high
Yeah, we can take it
Good news on an endless spree
Good because we made it
When mama’s not around
There’s no telling what we’ll do when we’re free
We came here to entertain you
Leaving here we aggravate you
Don’t you know it means the same to me
Honey I’m the one, the one you love
Come on baby, show your love
Hey, give it to me
And if you’re real good
I’ll make you feel good,
I want your spirit to climb –
Let me entertain you,
And we’ll have a real good time – yes, sir!
We’ll… have… a… real… good… time!
-“BB”-
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie’s got the blues
They’ve got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blue
Never could believe the things you do to me
Never could believe the way you are
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me
'Cause baby, I believe that you’re a star
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)
Let’s do it again
I might like you better
If we slept together
I might like you better
If we slept together
I might like you better
If we slept together
But there’s somethin’
In your eyes that says
Maybe that’s never
Never say never
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
